The large house was built in 1684–1687 and last owned by Philip Yorke III who passed it onto the National Trust because he never married and therefore had no heir.
We enjoyed looking through the house, at both the posh family rooms upstairs and the servants' quarters downstairs. It was very much like Downton Abbey!
The gardens at Erddig, although lovely, were just a bit too formal for our tastes. We prefer the gardens at Bodnant as they offer a better variety.
A host of golden daffodils!
This coot isn't quite a mother yet, not long now though by the looks of it.
After our stroll, we went to the OK Diner for some super-sized American-styled grub. Yumyumyum!
